Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for provisioning quality of service for content item delivery. The content item is delivered by a media over QUIC transport (MoQT) relay and via an access network, and metadata associated with the delivery of the content item is received at the MoQT relay. One or more QoS configuration changes to make for delivering the content item via the MoQT session are determined at the MoQT relay and based on the received metadata, and a request to make the one or more QoS configuration changes to the MoQT session is generated. The request to make the one or more QoS configuration changes to the MoQT session is transmitted from the MoQT relay, and the content item is delivered by the MoQT relay and via a reconfigured MoQT session.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for imaging and content generation. During a road trip, a driver or passenger observes an object or scene from a vehicle. From a perspective of the driver or passenger, the object or scene flows out of view in a relatively short amount of time. Images and video of the object or scene are captured with cameras. A field of view is extended beyond what the driver or passenger can easily observe. The capture is configurable to focus on particular types of objects or scenes. Recordings of billboards and road signs are easily displayed after passing the object. Object identification, gaze determination, and interest determination are provided. Curated content is generated. Applications to extended reality environments are provided. Artificial intelligence systems, including neural networks, and models are utilized to improve the imaging and content generation.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed herein for techniques for authorizing digital wallet transactions for offerings presented in digital content. The system identifies one or more devices in a vicinity of a display of a video stream. A product is displayed in the video stream. The system selects a device and identifies data including a product identifier for the product displayed in the video stream, a provider identifier for a provider associated with the product, an account identifier associated with the selected device, and an authorized account token linking an authorization server to the video stream provider. The system causes encoding, based at least in part on the identified data, of a message in a near-field communication (NFC) data exchange format. The system causes transmission of the encoded message to the device via a non-NFC network, receives authorization of a transaction from the authorization server, and causes display, on the device, of a confirmation for the transaction.

Second subtitles are generated for the utterance data. The second subtitles comprise the replacement term.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for generating customized pieces of content for a user based on the user's preferences and measuring the effectiveness of the customized pieces of content. This may be accomplished by a system identifying one or more objects depicted in a first piece of content and then assigning labels to the one or more objects. The system may determine that a user skipped the first piece of content when the first piece of content was displayed to the user. In response to the user skipping the first piece of content, the system may identify one or more objects depicted in the first piece of content to change. The system may use the assigned labels and user preferences to generate a second piece of content. The second piece of content may then be displayed to the user.

Abstract: Systems and methods relate to improving image quality of panoramic images. A system generates for display on a device, a user interface for capturing a panoramic image, receives image data from a camera of the device from a plurality of view angles, and generates for display on a device a preliminary panoramic image based on the image data. The system determines that a position corresponding to a particular view angle of the preliminary panoramic image is problematic, and in response to the determining, generates for display an indicator for the preliminary panoramic image prompting for the camera of the device to be repositioned to the particular view angle of the preliminary panoramic image that was determined to be problematic.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for delivering content to a mobile client device. Journey data is determined, indicating a path to be travelled by the client device. Edge servers are identified based on the journey data, each configured to deliver content to the client device as the client device travels along the path and is located within a local range thereof. An upcoming movement into a local range of a first edge server is predicted based on the journey data. Content to be delivered to the client device is determined, the content associated with the local range of the first edge server. Storage of the content at a second edge server, before the first edge server along the path, is caused. The content is delivered by the second edge server to the client device while the client device is within a local range of the second edge server.

Abstract: Methods and systems, implemented by a device e.g., a server or computing device, for enabling the improved output of multiple content items are provided so as to e.g., limit communication network bandwidth resources requested to deliver, from the server to the computing device, portions of the multiple content items. A content item comprising at least a plurality of portions is received at a computing device. A first complexity score associated with the plurality of portions is determined. It is identified that the first complexity score is below a threshold complexity score. A length of the plurality of portions is above a threshold length. And a portion of the plurality of portions of the content item is generated for simultaneous output.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for providing personalized audio for different users in a vehicle. This may be accomplished by a vehicle entertainment system determining the positions of one or more users within the vehicle. The vehicle entertainment system may then select a zone configuration based on the determined positions and output audio according to the selected zone configuration. For example, a first user sitting in the back of the vehicle may be located in a first zone of the selected zone configuration and a second user sitting in the back of the vehicle may be located in a second zone of the selected zone configuration. The vehicle entertainment system may output a first piece of audio to the first zone and a second piece of audio to the second zone using one or more techniques (e.g., beamforming).

Abstract: Systems and methods of generating guidance for deliveries and monitoring delivered items are disclosed. A visual anchor is associated with at least a portion of a physical location of a destination for delivering a package. Based on delivery instructions for the package, a visual object corresponding to the visual anchor is created. When a match is detected between the visual anchor and the portion of the physical location as displayed within the field of view of a device, the visual object is overlaid on the portion of the physical location as displayed within the field of view of the device. Based on wireless signal characteristics extracted from a designated drop-off area of the delivery address, a user interacting with the package may be detected. If the user's wireless signal characteristic signature indicates that they are unauthorized to interact with the package, an action is performed addressing the unauthorized interaction.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for receiving input via an input device. A first signal is received via a muscle activity sensor. It is determined that the first signal corresponds to a movement of a user digit that does not correspond to a first interaction with an input element of the input device. A digit movement direction is identified, and a prediction of a second interaction with an input element is generated. A first confidence level associated with the prediction is below a threshold, and a second signal is received via a proximity sensor. A velocity of the user digit is determined, and a prediction of the second interaction with a first input element is made. It is identified that a second confidence level associated with the prediction is above the threshold, and a third signal associated with the first input element of the input device is generated for output.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for monitoring chat activity in a live streaming session and automatically presenting prompts that include information of a supplemental content item that is related to the topic of the chat for presentation during the streaming session. The system receives and analyzes a chat message to determine its topic(s). A determination is made whether the topic is prominent and if a supplemental content item that is supported by the presenter relates to the topic of the chat. Upon a positive determination, a prompt is dynamically populated and displayed to the presenter. The presenter may verbally present the content of the prompt, or the supplemental content item may be displayed in other formats, during the streaming session. Presentation metrics and user engagement metrics may be obtained and provided to the supplemental content item provider.
